This election year the United States is in a major transition, possibly one of the most important in the country's history. At the same time, this month marks the 75th anniversary of FDR's famously successful first hundred days in office. Is the success of that administration's first hundred days a good example for the next president to use to set balanced expectations and build on the momentum from the election? Please join the Center for American Progress Action Fund for a discussion, moderated by Elizabeth Edwards, on how the next president can best model FDR's achievements to guide the nation through this critical period.

I'll be writing C-SPAN to see if they will record it or broadcast it live.

Update: EE spoke at a Biotech conference in San Diego on Thursday. Here's the video link:

You have to watch Ah-nold first, then Elizabeth is next. She looks great!
